Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 997: Chapter 1001: Disciplining a Son and Giving a Reminder

Beijing Courtyard

The Huo Family Living Room was brightly lit: ”Shanhe, Yiyi’s notification has still not arrived. Could there be any issues?”

Beside them, Huo Jiayuan also chimed in: ”Yes, it’s making me afraid to call my sister-in-law to share the good news, fearing she might feel upset.”

Huo Shanhe frowned slightly: ”It shouldn’t be. Didn’t you already ask someone to check before? Besides, the daughter-in-law is the Ji Province science top scorer. With her grades, she can apply to Qingbei.”

Huo Jiayuan had a very serious expression: ”These past few days, the notifications for almost all the scores in our courtyard have arrived, yet my sister-in-law’s hasn’t come.”

Thinking about the rumors circulating in the courtyard these days, her face turned stern: ”We’ll wait one more day. If there’s still no news tomorrow, I’ll investigate personally.”

Seeing her mother’s displeased expression, Huo Jiayuan remembered what Third Sister-in-law said today: ”Dad, you should deal with Third Sister-in-law. She’s getting more and more outrageous.

Because of earlier events, Third Brother sent her back to her family to reflect. Not only did she fail to reflect, but she attributed this issue to Fourth Sister-in-law. Today, she even traveled far from her family just to say nonsensical things. You didn’t see it; she was worse than a stranger, with a face full of schadenfreude.”

Jiang Jingya got even angrier upon hearing this: ”When did she come by? Why didn’t you tell me?”

Huo Jiayuan took a deep breath: ”I didn’t tell you because I didn’t want you to get angry. But I thought I can’t keep hiding this from you. At the very least, you need to know what kind of person she is.”

Huo Shanhe also got furious, dialing a phone number immediately: ”What do you and your wife plan to do?”

”Dad, why are you asking this all of a sudden?”

”I’m asking you, so answer me.”

”I told her to stay with her family for a while and reconsider things.”

”Did you know she came back to the courtyard today and mocked Old Four’s wife in front of Jiayuan?”

”What, does she have issues?”

”The matters between spouses can’t be solved just by sending her back to her family. Besides, she’s pregnant now. If Jiayuan actually gets angry over something she says, and they have a conflict and something happens, who takes the blame?”

”Dad, I’m sorry. I didn’t handle this well. I’ll sort out our matters soon.”

”Gaodi, don’t blame me for calling you like this as a father. Honestly, over these years, your wife has become more and more unruly, stirring up trouble. Your Big Sister-in-law and Second Sister-in-law have endured her, not wanting to embarrass me and Auntie Jiang. But look at what she did today?

You know Old Four’s temperament. If one day she can’t help but provoke them in front of them, Old Four would absolutely embarrass her. Then, don’t start complaining that the Huo Family bullied her. We can’t afford that embarrassment.”

”Dad, I understand. I also know everyone’s been putting up with her all these years. It’s because I spoiled her too much initially. Rest assured, I’ll visit my father-in-law soon.”

After hanging up, Jiang Jingya disapproved: ”Why did you make that call anyway? Isn’t that putting Gaodi in a tough spot?

Besides, with his wife’s character, if Gaodi really goes to her to discuss today’s issues, she’s sure to stir up trouble and might even twist things around, pushing blame onto me as the stepmother. Over the years, she’s done plenty of instigating. If Gaodi hadn’t been sensible, he might have gone astray because of her. Honestly, who does she take after with that temperament?”
